Also, studies show that reaction times while using a cell phone are impaired. I tend to prefer sharing the road with drivers who are not impaired, I dunno maybe it is just me.

actualy the most informative study done on cells and driving showed that experianced drivers had no inpairment at all from using a cell phone when driving, but inexperenced drivers were very destracted while using the cell phone.

but it is more simple for the goverment to just ban hand held electronics across the board than try to come up with a way to enfoce a ban based on experiance which I agree would be very hard to enforce. but every day when I drive I see just as many people on there cells as I did befor the ban, so this is going tobe another than that lack of enforcment is going to mitagate the intentions.
